J plate Rivage.
« on: 20 November 2010, 10:56 »
Right then mk1 guru's  a couple of Qs as i start work on my garage resident.  . . .

1, Front bumper - can these be removed and  left off - i know you cant on a MkII  :rolleyes:

2, Fuel filler neck change - a noddy guide would be GREAT

Thanks in advance

I didn't realise you'd replaced the Passat so quickly.

MK1 Rivage, very  :cool: Blue with cream leather??

Have you got any pics to show yet??

yep i think you can remove bumpers just undo x2 bolts on chassis leg in engine bay and same in boot, altho you will need to do summat about front indicators. also wont it look odd with the side skirts still fitted?

Ah but the setup of a mk2 has it's advantages which I wish mine had, at least you can unbolt the whole of the front end... MK1, its all welded  :sad:
